...1912Dec12, Oelwein.IA paper: OBITUARY of JASON L. PAINE; Jason Lee Paine was born on January 9, 1838 in the town of Hudson, Summitt Co., Ohio. He was the son of Gen Joel and Silvia Hallock Paine. He was the younger of two sons. His brother was born in May, 1836 and died in May, 1944. When seven years of age the property of his father was swept away through no fault of his own and gathering together what little remained he came west with his wife and son Jason, landing at Racine, Wis and taking up a claim at Newark, Rock county, Wis. During a series of meetings held by their pastor about eight o'clock on the morning of November 19, 1849, when he was driving up the oxen and cow which had wondered away during the night he experienced a change of heart and the forgiveness of sin, for which he had been seeking. His father removed his family to Iowa with ox teams and on August 15, 1855, reached Fayette. The first winter was spent on the farm south of town now belonging to A. N. Goodrich. The following summer they built a house which stood for many years on the property in the east part of town now owned by Miss Mayme Thomas. When U.I.C, then Fayette Seminary, opened for its second term he was among those who registered and graduated in June, 1862 with John E. Clough, who passed away many years ago. In the fall of 1862 he received his first appointment from conference which was the white settlement in the territory of Dakota and lived at Fort Brule while he traveled his circuit which was 150 miles long. Here his sight failed for the first time but after a time was restored so he was able to take more work. This time he was assigned to the Lowden circuit in Cedar county, Iowa. His eyes again failed and for eight years he was unable to read a chapter in the bible, bur during that time by committing his lessons to memory through the assistance of his wife he taught Greek and Latin in the college. Also during that time he filled the offices of county superintendent and county auditor, engaged in the boot and shoe business in company with Thomas Fowells and with D. C. Shoemaker in furniture. Also took the contract for furnishing piling for the construction of the Davenport & Northwestern railway between Fayette and Cresco at a time when he could not see the fence as he rode along the road. His eyesight was partially restored in the summer of 1873. That fall he re entered conference and was given the Postville circuit, then including Castalia and Hardin, where he served three years. Then he served the Cresco charge two years, also at this time conducted a temperance campaign which resulted in the closing of the saloons which have never been opened since and in the spilling of three thousand dollars worth of liquor in one day. In the fall of of 1878 he was appointed to Monticello charge where he served two years, but the struggle of the eight years blindness and seven years more of only partial vision had told on the strong constitution. He took a superannuated relation and retired to Fayette. In the spring of 1884 he moved on the farm where he remained sixteen years and in the spring of 1900 he returned to Fayette, where he has since made his home, and continued to labor in a business way and in so doing going as his strength would permit. His health steadily failed but was able to be about until a few days before the end the decline grew more rapid and he peacefully passed away at 4:35 o'clock Saturday afternoon, November 30, 1912. On July 24, 1861 Jason Paine and Miss Margaret Fletcher Kent were united in marriage and for over fifty-one years they travelled the pathway of life together. She still remains, also four of their five children survive him. The eldest, Edward Kent, died in infancy. Charles Fawcett of Fayette, Mrs. Amy Leigh of Chadron, Neb.; Mrs. Louie Blagg of Morning Sun, Iowa and Miss Margaret of Fayette. There are also six grandchildren. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. G. H. Kennedy, assisted by Dr. J. W. Dickman. President R. W. Cooper and Rev. Charles N. Sinnett.

…I helped Mrs. Hunt do a painting of Lake Como.
…1882SeptLate, all of Iowa was excited over the shooting of Marion Shepard by the Barber Boys.
…..The Barber brothers had been stealing horses and Mr. Shepard, acting a deputy sheriff, had tried to arrest them (in Wadena).  The shooting occurred near Lima (in Wadena) and of course the whole country side was aroused.  Jason came back up to the farm from Fayette the day following the shooting and said there was a crowd stating out to hunt the Barbers, and he was going with them.  But the horse he rode was lame and Charles was allowed to go in his stead.  Charles was only 15 and too young for such an experience, but he went.  This crowd started out east of Fayette and Charles rode with George Whitley.  As they separated each crowd was to take a certain direction and report later at Grannis’ Mill (in Grannis Hollow, 3mil E of Fayette).  As the two rode along Grannis’ Hollow, Mr. Whitley kept telling Charles to look for tracks.

Page 92, Milestones, The Barber Boys, 1882/1883
…..Finally they saw the fresh tracks of two horses going off into the brush.  It was decided that Mr. Whitley would stay there and watch while Charles went for the rest. Charles had just reached the others when George Penrod came up and said the Barber ad been seen off south of town.  Without waiting to investigate the tracks, they all started off.  Later, the two horses that the Barbers had been riding were found within10min from the tracks in Grannis Hollow.  They decided that the false report had been given to help the fugitives.
…..The Barbers made their escape and spent the winter in Oklahoma.  The next summer came back and hid in the marshes east of Sumner, where their sister lived (just south of Randalia).  She probably furnished them with food.  When it got cool again they were driven to cover and stopped for supper one night at a farm-house near Waverly.  The farmer recognized them and signaled his wife to be slow in preparing the meal.  Then he began scolding his sons for some carelessness and sent them to repair the damage.  As he followed the boys out the doors to give final instructions, he sent them to the neighbors for help.  They finally succeeded in taking both Barbers but one of the farmers was killed.   The Barbers were taken to the county jail at Waverly but a mob took them from the jail and hung them.  They were buried in Dunham Grove Cemetery.  Charles said not long ago, that in the few days following the shooting of Mr. Shepard, the streets of Fayette looked like the pictures of the ‘Wild West.’  The horseback riders were all armed for fighting.
